Hey everyone! I'm new to the trapping game and I've gotten started. I have some excellent looking setups that I think should really be great for catching cats. One of them has produced my first bobcat! (story to come later when I'm not so tired) But on the other setups I haven't had any sign of cats. My question is: How long should a person stick a set before they pull it and try somewhere else? I'm trying to be patient but I also don't want to waste my season. Is there a rule of thumb to go by? I'd love to hear from anybody with knowledge on the subject. The next question is an ethical one. With my successful location, how many cats should I attempt to take in a season? I don't want to wipe out a spot but also have no idea how many I can take without impacting the population. Not that I really have to concern myself with this question seeing that I have only caught one cat but just curious about what the standard is. Look forward to hearing from everyone.
